alchemy cannot belong here.
I am wishing for someone to define alone
so I can refute it
dogmatic
albeit correct
i will reject it
in plexiglas bars
i am caged
seldom the alchemist
i cannot mold the medium
cannot meld myself a swan
could this be
an entity separate from humanity itself?
could it see
a glimpse of the turned eye
far past the reach of my retina
atop the highest gleaming peak
in a region untouched
by my fingerprint
swollen with a burnt image
upon my ring finger
left untouched by
a refined ore
will the flames you use to make it
burn my muscles to their embers?
this is the realm of reasoning
they said
of the calm before a storm
and the ripples following
in an empty room of pure light
nothing may be foreshadowed
